4.3.1.575.1 Content Logical Definition

This value set includes codes from the following code systems:

Include these codes as defined in http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/Race

Code	Display
1002-5	American Indian or Alaska Native	American Indian or Alaska Native
2028-9	Asian	Asian
2054-5	Black or African American	Black or African American
2076-8	Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander	Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
2106-3	White	White

Include these codes as defined in http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/NullFlavor

Code	Display
UNK	Unknown	Description:A proper value is applicable, but not known. Usage Notes: This means the actual value is not known. If the only thing that is unknown is how to properly express the value in the necessary constraints (value set, datatype, etc.), then the OTH or UNC flavor should be used. No properties should be included for a datatype with this property unless: Those properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of "unknown". (E.g. a local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown') Those properties further qualify the nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying a use code of "H" and a URL prefix of "tel:" to convey that it is the home phone number that is unknown.)
ASKU	Asked but no answer	Information was sought but not found (e.g., patient was asked but didn't know)

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance)

Display

The display (used in the display element of a Coding ). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
